BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003

Character Bio: The Ducket Taker on the Canaris is responsible for collecting the fare in the form of duckets from the passengers. Chameleon, an aging and charming con man tries to fool the ducket taker and Siress Blassie into believing he is head of the I.F.B., since he has bought no ducket for the trip. He suggests that they should do a series of interviews on the hard working more common people in the fleet and the ducket taker would be perfect for that and he should report to the television studios the next morning. The man is happily surprised and forgets to take Chameleon's ducket. When he returns and asks for his ducket Chameleon claims to have given it to him already. Still ego struck by the charming offer of Chameleon, he apologizes for not noticing and leaves it at that.
